Assistant Professor, School of Computing Dr. Jin Sun is an Assistant Professor in the School of Computing at the University of Georgia. His research interest is in developing efficient and effective deep learning and computer vision algorithms for a holistic visual understanding of complex scenes. In particular, he is interested in learning hidden information from a large collection of unlabeled visual data. He is also passionate about applying computer vision in applications to improve people’s quality of life. He has close collaboration with colleagues from areas such as agriculture, ocean science, and public health. His work has been published at top computer vision conferences such as CVPR, ICCV, and ECCV, selected as "Notable Books and Articles" in the 19th Annual ACM Best of Computing 2014, and nominated for the best paper award at CVPR 2020. Education: Ph.D., Computer Science, University of Maryland Research Research Interests: Deep learning–based computer vision Visual understanding of complex scenes and environments Representation learning from large-scale, unlabeled visual data Human- and people-centered visual understanding using images and video Applications of AI and computer vision in science, healthcare, and societal challenges
